OUTER LIMITS - CD STROMATOLITE

Popis - STROMATOLITE:
Here is the progressive musical event of the year : OUTER LIMITS is back! This japanese band is the most famous and influential of the eighties japanese progressive trend, as it succeded in developing an original and personal musical style, while many others were just imitating progressive masters. This style is based on fantastic violin parts, symphonic keyboards, contrasting with acid or heavy guitar solis and riffs. The bands line up is the original one, except for a new bass player. After more than fifteen years of silence, its really moving to hear again this incredible violin player, Takashi Kawaguchi, able to play everything, going from softness to wildness, lyrical, unquiet, tortured or enthusiast. Its not a "usual" come back : Tsukamotos pieces are among the
best he ever did, inspired, precise and faithful to Outer Limits style, somewhere between classical music (Bach, Vivaldi...) and progressive (E.L.P, Yes, King Crimson...), without any self indulgence. A fantastic album!
